The charming and peaceful Riad Al Zahia is situated in the middle of Essaouira’s Medina, near the main square, restaurants and souks, and just a 5-minute walk from the beach.
All guest rooms are individually decorated and equipped with en suite facilities tastefully conceived in the traditional Moroccan style. They are grouped around a quiet interior courtyard.
Start the day with the tasty breakfast before visiting the city. After sightseeing, come back and relax around the fountain on the patio or in the comfortable lounge.
Guests can also admire panoramic views of the Medina and the ocean from the lovely roof terrace.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
